Pumpin' & Shreddin' All Day
I’m 6 weeks into training for my first Figure Competition and am continuing to see results. This week at my regular pinch session, I lost 2lbs and another 1% body fat. I feel good in my clothes and lighter on my toes, and I have plenty of energy. I feel strong during my workouts and fast in my sprint sessions.

From "Go" Muscles to "Show" Muscles
My journey from CrossFit to Bodybuilding
I laugh as I write this…
How can a functional fitness junkie go from snatches and deadlifts, to incline press and leg curls? Is it possible to step on the elliptical machine without feeling ashamed? Will I ever get to eat bacon again? Will they take away my kool-aid and kick me out?
These are all questions that stream through my mind as I walk...

"Do I Stink?!" A fresh post about deodorant.
Have you heard that after using the same deodorant for a few months it stops working? It’s true. Totally happened to me. I used to use Secret Clinical Strength in Marathon Fresh scent with no problem. Then, out of no where, it stopped working. After a few days of smelling like a barn, I decided to try a new deodorant. This time Dove Clinical Strength (“clinical strength” as in I...
